Flight squadrons from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy will join forces Tuesday to salute first responders and essential workers who are
continuing to perform their duties despite the dangers of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
The Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels will carry out formation flights over New York City, Newark, N.J.; Trenton, N.J., and Philadelphia, according to a press release.
“We are truly excited to take to the skies with our Navy counterparts for
a nation-wide tribute to the men and women keeping our communities safe.” Air Force Lt. Col. John Caldwell said. “We hope to give Americans a touching display of American resolve that honors those serving on the frontline of our fight with COVID-19.”
Caldwell will serve as Thunderbird 1 and mission commander for the
flyover, which was given the social media hashtag #AmericaStrong.
